How To - Install Motorcycle Or ATV Grips

Details

ProTaper Pillow Top MX grips have achieved a legendary status among dirt bike grips for a reason. It all comes down to the Vibrasonix pillow top on each grip combined with a gel-like surface compound. This combination reduces the vibration which is inherently transferred from the handle into the grips. The result is a softer feel, where the grips act as a cushion on each hand.

ProTaper has really figured out how to create comfortable dirt bike grips with the Pillow Tops, but that's not the only thing to get excited about. The surface compound is tacky and will keep your hand from sliding around on the grip, but the inner compound is also important, keeping the grip firmly in place on the handlebar. The Anti-Rip Tip is a separate compound from the rest of the grip and is designed for off-road rigors and built for longevity.

Aside from vibration reduction, another great thing about the Pillow Top hand grips is that they have a self-cleaning pattern. This means that when you're getting mud as high as your handlebar, you don't have to worry about your grips as they're designed to shed mud. This is a great feature for trail riding, but it's especially great for MX when you don't have time to stop and clean your hand grips. The Pillow Top is also a little larger than standard grips. If you have oversized hands, you might find the ProTaper Pillow Top MX grips to be even more comfortable.

When it comes to MX hand grips, ProTaper has a real winner. If you think you're ready to handle an extra level of comfort on either the MX track or the trail, pick up a set of the ProTaper Pillow Top grips.

The ProTaper Pillow Top tri-density grip features an acoustically dampened palm area with an ultra-tacky compound that virtually eliminates vibration.

If you put these on properly, they won't budge until you take them off. Clean off your bars and throttle tube and spray a little starting fluid inside the grips. Slide on and your done. No wire needed.

Most comfortable grips I’ve found. Work great for vibrations as well. Only complaint is I have never had a pair long enough to wear them out. Grip ends tend to rip off after a couple tip overs. They are cheap so replacement doesn’t hurt the bank account.

best glue on grip, comfortable, easy install with snug fit, have bark busters, so ends never got chewed up. lasted approximately one year at 105 hours and now ready for new this winter with rest bike over haul

I ride off road not MX these grips are larger diameter than most grips so there is more cushion and less vibration. with these grips and donuts I can ride all day several days in a row with no blisters. (now if they would start making seats)

I have been using these for years and they really work well. They help isolate some the vibration from your hands and cushion some of the blow from the suspension. I put a significant amount of pressure on the outside of my palm. Nice soft rubber. Might be a little large for smaller hands. I get good durability out of them, typically 16 to 18 races.

BEST ANSWER:They fit both 7/8 and 1 1/8. The fat bar is only at the mount and tapers to 7/8 at the grip. I would definitely make sure that if you have a twist throttle that you get the mc version and vice versa for atv as the MC version is bigger on the throttle side to fit the twist tube.

They should fit any motorcycle handlebar that is 7/8" diameter at the bar ends which really is just about any common handlebar. Even the Answer Protaper bars and all the 1 1/8" bars that followed it "taper" down to 7/8" at the grip area so chances are high they will work for you. Personal water craft and snowmobiles may be different so measure your bars there to make sure they are 7/8" in diameter. Good luck.

I have a 2018 Husqvarna FE 501. I asked my dealer to install Pro Taper pillow top grips. They tell me it's not possible unless I want to purchase a new throttle tube because most all new bike are "lockon" Never heard of this before....what are they talking about?

BEST ANSWER:The dealer is correct your Husqvarna comes stock with ODI lock on grips which mean that the clutch side is a simple bolt to tighten the grip down and on the throttle side the grip comes attached to the throttle tube. This is installed the same way you would a throttle tube which means that you cannot remove the grip from the throttle tube leaving you with the options of either replacing with a different set of lock ons or buying a standard style throttle tube and then installing the pillow tops like you normally would.

KTM/Husky come stock with ODI lock on grips which means the grip is integrated with the throttle tube as one piece. If you want to run traditional glue on grips you will have to buy a different throttle tube. Or you can buy a new set of ODI (more expensive) and they will come with throttle tube

ONE OF THE MANY UPGRADES ON A HUSKY IS THE ODI GRIPS WHICH ARE LOCK ON TYPE NOT GLUE, THUS THE REASON WHY HE IS SAYING THAT. I HAVE A 2018 FC 450. ODI GRIPS ARE TWICE THE COST OF THE PILLOW TOPS WHICH I LOVE AND HAVE ON OTHER BIKES BUT I REALLY LIKE THE ODI GRIPS! GOOD LUCK

Lots of new bikes have the throttle grip vulcanized on the tube. The real solution to that is just buying a throttle tube and put in your choice of grips. Think of it this way you can save the stock throttle tube and grip as a backup for your tool box

Im having a terrible time with these splitting when i install them. Ive tried crushing them before sliding them on to minimize any air pockets as well as putting a hole in the ends for air to escape. Any other tips or tricks? Ive had 3 sets split on me now using these methods.

BEST ANSWER:I've installed several sets old school style. Spray the inside of the grip with hair spray, push and twist them on, align the little pillows so they look good (and removes residual stress in the grip) and wait a few hours, or overnight, for the hairspray to dry. Then they are basically glued on lightly. I do use hand guards, so I cut off the ends and therefore there is no air build up for my installation. Good luck! - CDL

I've had 4-5 sets of these and have never had an issue like what you describe. Are these all recent? Could you have gotten multiple units from a bad batch. Conversely, have these all been on the same side (throttle side)? Coud you be trying to put the left side grip (which is smaller) over the larger diameter throttle tube?

These grips have never split for me. I always clean the bar, add the ProTaper glue, and then slide them on. As I slide the grips on, most of the air will burp out. Any excess air trapped in the grip comes out a small hole I put in the end of the grip right before I put my Cycra hand guards on.

Use a rapidly evoraporatng solvent like a brake parts cleaner spray inside the grip and slide it on then hold until the spray dries the I recommend using safety wire to ensure that the don't twist. Also try compressed air to remove old grips fast

BEST ANSWER:Of course you can, very simple with a new blade in a utility knife. Just carefully cut a circular hole in the end of each grip(a little larger on the throttle side) and use grip glue, mount your grips, install your bark busters and check for throttle return, let your glue dry. Go ride!

Yes. I have these grips installed on Twisted Enginering flexible handle bars with bark busters. All you have to do is cutout the ends of the grips with a sharp blade so the bark buster bolts will go into ends of the handle bars.

BEST ANSWER:They should fit any dirt bike with a twist throttle. Don't buy these for ATVs or bicycles or one will be too big. If you run hand guards, you will need to cut off the ends. I usually cut mine where the colored end meets the black ring.

BEST ANSWER:Definitely, one side goes on the throttle tube side & one side on the clutch side . The throttle side is a little bit larger . Not sure what bike you were putting it on but some of the bikes like Kawasaki for one have the stock grips fused to the throttle tube so if its the first grip change on a bike sometimes it's easier to just get a new throttle tube then try to get off the old grip on the throttle side.
